new night shifter here... been on it for 2 1/2 weeks... i am finally sleeping during the day, but am really missing that "new day reset" feeling... not sure how to explain that one... but it has definitely messed with my body and my eating, and now that i can finally stay awake long enough to make it through my shift (i…

i haven't been on a bike since i was 15 and landed on a helmet-less head... so... i bought a stationary bike for my living room. it's a spin-type bike, so i'm looking for good apps or you tube videos for an at home spin class... any suggestions? thanks!!!!!

i got night sweats a lot. finally went and got a sleep study done. i don't snore, i don't stop breathing at night, but my oxygen levels drop to 91% at night (they should be a minimum of 97%), so they gave me a cpap... and the night sweats stopped...

i live out of crock pot meals... i am single and work 2 jobs, so once a month i fire both of mine up, then portion and freeze... so, here are some of my favorites... Mexican Chicken Soup 1-1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed 2 teaspoons canola oil 1/2 cup water 1 envelope reduced-sodium taco seasoning 1 can…

i'm sure there are a lot of us re-starting... and honestly, i feel so much better after a good week than i ever did eating all the junk that tastes good that i can't seem to avoid. wanting to eat healthy is a struggle, but as soon as you start seeing the benefits, just keep reminding yourself of how much better you…

find a motivator. like... no tattoo if not eating well and sticking to it. beating yourself up isn't going to do any good, and neither is the junk you're eating. when i get to my goal weight, that's when i'm going to finish my back piece. that's my motivator. You don't have to be great to start; you have to START to be…

keep snacking food around, but make sure it's healthy. grapes are great... you can munch (like you would a bag of chips). or some popcorn kernals and a popper. fresh pop them, and you avoid all the butter and salt, and it's a low cal snack. if you feel the need for the hand to mouth motion, just keep it fresh :) i lived…

i believe that these feelings can be fuel toward driving yourself in a positive direction. i try not to say "i hate" anything... however, i do HATE being overweight and the way it makes me feel, and that, in turn, helps push me to lose the weight. 1. i hate feeling my stomach jiggle every time i drive over a bump in the…

This was me. I don't snore. I haven't slept through the night in years. I can fall asleep no problem, but toss and turn all night, and i am awake enough to be aware of it. so i got a sleep study anyway, even though i don't snore. guess what? sleep apnea. i don't snore, the test proved that. but my O2 levels dropped to 91%…

35, soon to be 36. divorced 7 years ago, not interested in kids... the way i see it, i'd rather get my own stuff straight before i get someone else involved in my mess. and i work 2 jobs, so i don't particularly have time to date anyway. i'm in no hurry. if anyone says anything to me about it, i just say that i'm…

i work at a firehouse, so they've got gyms there, so i've got a backup treadmill for those rainy days that i can hit on my way home! you're right about the being chained to a desk, and i get away as often as i can, but it's not nearly often enough.... however, my parking garage is a block away!

i just want to say thank you to everyone for all of your input!!! i spent a lot of time thinking on saturday, and here's what i've come up with... 1. eating. must get it under control. period. no more excuses. to this affect, i made 3 healthy meals this weekend, portioned them, and froze them. i also cut a cantaloupe and…

hahaha Harvo... if i wait for one of those, it will end up being waaaaaay too late on the roof...
-
i actually have this, and cook 3 crock pots once a month, so my dinners are pre-portioned. I do make excuses for me eating poorly, there is no 2 ways around that. I do just need to suck it up and do it, you're absolutely right on that...

it's 20 miles if i take I-95, way more if I take back roads, and I only have a 30 minute window to make it there...

The debt I'm paying off is from when I was married. I have been divorced for 8 years, and am still paying off the debts. I was paying minimums for so long, and just got tired of having it. That's why it's been a priority. It took me 10 years to pay it off. I don't ever want to go through that again. Having that much debt…

after my 2 jobs, i go home and do Insanity!!!!

i'm also a yo-yo'er, and i tend to swing 15-20 pounds. my biggest swing was 25 pounds. and you're right. you need to change from the diet mindset to the lifestyle mindset.... i find the longer i stay on track, when i slip back into my old habits, i find the food makes me feel awful, and as i'm feeling bloated/like i just…

food scales are relatively inexpensive (mine was $15) and you can get them almost anywhere that has kitchen equipment these days. one serving of meat should be about 4 oz. The food database here is flexible and allows you to pretty much put in the exact amount you are eating (change a serving to 1 oz and put in... say...…

welcome back!!! the first step is that you're here, so you're heading in the right direction!!! i'm a roller coaster myself, so i'm always willing to be supportive!

My list includes: Linkin Park (pretty much anything) Kelly Clarkson - stronger David Ghetta - Titanium Fort Minor - Remember the Name and my oddball Tron Legacy Soundtrack - C.L.U. (this is an orchestral piece but i find it very empowering)...

woohoo!!! that's great!!!!! sometimes i feel like all i can do is hang on by a thread (maybe a celery fiber?) but i just keep reminding myself that i can't keep letting myself fall... keep rocking it, and anytime you need encouragement, i'm here!!!!
